There’s a few groups that claim “they started it” (usually 4chan makes that claim and sometimes they do) – but that’s the thing about memes, it really doesn’t matter who started them. [unless there’s a reason, like it started a criminal thing]

My era is more the video memes. I was a chronic viner, so I got to see them when they start, watch them spread, sometimes I’d see them make it to youtube or even the news in a few very rare cases.
